Caribbean Island Hop – St. Thomas & St. Maarten
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from San Juan on December 24, 2027 visits St. Thomas, St. John's, Philipsburg, St. Croix and Basseterre. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 4 borders through the Caribbean: U.S. Virgin Islands, Antigua & Barbuda, Sint Maarten and St. Kitts & Nevis. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for St. Croix: Danish-Caribbean heritage under tropical palms. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Rhapsody Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. That's 7 nights well spent.
